Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Heavy metals are naturally present in the environment. Natural extracts, besides it&rsquo;s sought after pharmacological effect and uses in medical treatment, could be dangerous because of heavy metals and other impurities. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the heavy metal content and contamination in our developed nutraceutical product before and after the manufacturing process to ensure safety. In this study, the content of heavy elements, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, nickel, lead and cadmium were determined before and after manufacturing capsules using ICP&ndash;OES and ICP&ndash;MS techniques. The results were compared with the FSSAI safety limits and were found to be within the permissible limits. This study highlight that the content of heavy metals before and after manufacturing capsule does not exceed the safety limits and its concentration is far below the permissible limits, thus ensuring safety.</p>
